What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

"2x4 lathe"....like in 2x4 purlin?

Yep. Some calls it purlin, I calls it lathing. MMmmm. (In my best Carl Childers accent).

50 hr service / oil changes for the toys

Kubota has ~1/20th the horsepower but 20x the utility lol

The finishing deck found the lost metal Private Property sign. It was 8X11 at one time. Made a lot of noise going from blade to blade. The tractor did not notice !

Turned a dirt pile today and threw some seed down on my dump area... had the tunes cranking in the mini. Just rocking out.

I like your fix. Do you know how old the posts are? And what material they were? I’ve been thinking about how to build a carport, and I’m concerned I’ll outlive a pole style building.

The posts are at least 55 years old as nobody in my family(that's still alive) can remember exactly when it was built. I do know my grandpa was working in a sawmill around the time it was built and the poles are not a uniform size(some are 5 inch, 5 1/2 inch, and the corners are over 6 inch round poles. Also they are more brown than the black you would see with creosote. The old poles were sitting right on clay and it is wet.

Wife and I used the wood chipper .7 of an hour today. Trimmed the trees along our 2/10 of a mile driveway.

If you have one male and one female connector on your implements, connect the two together when you park them and they won't lock up.

Well that didn't work. I parked my grapple, then connected the hoses together, when I went to disconnect them they wouldn't budge so once again it was necessary to loosen and bleed off the pressure. I didn't record the temperature difference between connection and disconnection but I am sure it wasn't great.

The biggest thing I did differently to help myself with this issue was to stop dropping(disconnecting) my grapple in the direct sunlight. When I disconnect now, it goes under the shade tree or into the barn out of the direct sun. I haven't had an issue since.

Got the last of my snow removed, from where it drifts in (20' deep) on my access road to my lower 30 acres, and the road to IT stays unplowed all winter. 82 degrees, moving snow! Plus, moved my 1000 watt solar array back down the hill to the springs location, where it will pump water until late fall, then back uphill and plugged back into my grid tied main solar array.

Doing some ditching. Waited 4 years for dept of highways to do it but to say they are useless would be a bit of a understatement.

Picked up a little 4x6 trailer for the LX3310. Primary use will be to haul a tote of water around the property for shrubs, trees and gardening.

Got the fertilizer on the food plots.

Soon after I bought my BX about 4 years ago, the ignition switch started acting up and wouldn't send power to the started solenoid. I bought a replacement off Amazon, and it worked fine until last year when the key could be removed in the run position. I didn't think too much about it, but last Monday when I finished mowing the yard, the key and fob were gone, fortunately I have a couple of extra keys, so I stuck a spare in and shut it off. This time I bought a replacement from Messick's, my local shop was out of stock, and I replaced it on Thursday. They are really proud of those things, $89.12 proud. At least now the key can't be removed in the run position. I'll probably find the missing key, unless it got picked up by the mower and destroyed, although I never heard a noise if it did. I think I'll make a lanyard and put the key on it, then loop it over the throttle lever so it can't get away.

My first car was like that. I could start it with a screwdriver, pocket knife, random key, whatever was handy at the moment. It was protected from theft by being a dilapidated POS. Doubt that applies to your tractor so getting a key switch was probably a good move.

My BX22 had the same problem and the dealer sent me a new switch under warranty. Never got around to replacing it, just tied the key to the steering column. Never lost the key, and the new switch is still somewhere in the garage. Your Amazon replacement probably came out of the same factory that makes the OEM switch, only the packaging was changed. Not enough demand for a manufacturer to tool up to make switches to sell cheaper than Kubota.

Use a short extension hose to connect them together. Splice in a small ball valve in a T fitting. Open the valve, disconnect the extension hose. Close the valve and put it in a box.
That will equalize the pressure.

Some mowing with the Perruzo on Saturday. Birthday party Piñata holder on Sunday.

Didn't do diddly on the tractor today. But, I started my day with hauling Rocky Racoon to the local WMA and releasing him. He's been raiding our hummingbird feeders and knocking flower pots off the rail of the deck. Mind you the deck rail is a 2x6, so this must be one VERY clumsy racoon. So, I set a trap a few days ago, baited with nothing more fancy than a jelly sandwich made with a bread heel. Got up this morning, went out on the deck with my coffee to sit with the missus, and she informed me I had a drive to take, that Rocky was awaiting relocation. So, Rocky now has a new zipcode, and hopefully our hummingbirds will get the food intended for them.

After that, I pulled out "The Beast", which is what I call my 24" Swisher rough cut mower, and cut part of the unfinished area of our lot, roughly 1/3 of the property. Not so bad as I've been doing this for nearly 18 years on this part of the lot and have filled in most of the stump holes and removed most of the rocks. The back third, however, is still quite rough, only recently cleared of underbrush, brambles, and TONS of poison ivy. "The Beast" weighs in at 400 pounds, and throws me around like a ragdoll back there. It does a great job, but I really need to trade up for a flail mower to handle the unfinished part of our yard with something a little more comfortable to work with. The Swisher is a younger man's mower.

Sounds a lot like my 12HP Gravely walk behind (500 lb.?) with 30" deck.
It has a 9 lb brush blade,...... this 82 year old does not use it anymore.
Wanted to sell it, but son said....please don't do it!
